TextInput: Value/Placeholder font size doesn't respect it's size variant

[maximedegreve]

Description

We've noticed an issue on the platform where small buttons are paired with small text inputs, the text inputs use a medium font size instead of a small font-size. This creates a mismatch in the visual hierarchy, as shown below:

Upon investigation, we found that small text fields are implemented correctly in Rails. However, in React and Figma, this implementation isn't consistent.

You can check the correct Rails implementation here: Text Field Playground.

Steps to reproduce

Go in Figma or the React playground and set the size to small. Then inspect the font-size which will indicate a medium size.

@maximedegreve Should this be in primer/view_components?

I read that incorrectly, sorry!
